I once lived in flat 03 - where the leading zero was significant  
since there was also a flat 3 in the same building!

The number of arguments I had with utility companies who  
automagically normalised my address to 3 was silly (until some clever  
sod pointed out I just needed to tell them it was "O3" not "03"...
